Very good. Would go back!
Pros:

The staff were lovely. So helpful. Location is fabulous. Right next to the botanic gardens, lots of walking trails and beauty all around. Rooms were really nice, very clean. MAKE sure you tell the front desk if you don't want someone in your room. There are no "do not disturb" signs in the room so I was taken aback when I came back on day one and noticed someone had been in my room. I asked about it and they added my name to the list of not entering my room.

Cons:

Parking is a problem. They have a TINY lot out back, so if you can fit into a small alleyway then it can work ok. Street parking is paying, so definitely a tricky place. BUT if you can squeeze into the tiny lot in the back, it's free, which helps a LOT in this area. Overall a really good experience though.

Pros:

Die Lage wäre gut, wenn man auch einchecken könnte!!!

Cons:

Wir konnten trotz vorheriger Ankündigung nicht um 20.30 Uhr im Hotel einchecken. Da die Rezeption nicht wie angekündigt besetzt war. Kein Personal vor Ort. Eine KI-Hotline hilft da auch nicht weiter!!!

Good hotel in a fantastic location - recommended.
Pros:

The room was nice, spacious and clean. The location was ideal - an easy walk into west end shops and cafes, and also near public transport for getting into Glasgow city centre.

Cons:

It does have parking but the lane to get to the car park is very very tight, so maybe not great for a wide car. The car park is also very tight - perfect for small cars, a bit hairy for big ones.
